Screen shot
Author
I wasn''t sure which forum to put this in but I have made a game with SDL and C++ and I want to know how you would take a screen shot when it is running so I can post pictures of the game on my website.
Not the most flexible way to do it put you can just hit printscreen. Then open up an art package and paste it into your document.
There's a SDL_SaveBmp(...) function, or something like that. I used that in my game in order to make screenshots.

I couldn''t get the print screen to work, and I couldn''t find the SDL_SaveBMP in the sdl files, any chance you can find out what the command is Seby,
By the way, Nice site for your game Seby I am going to try your game now, looks pretty good.

Its ctrl & print screen, then you can just open up paint (if you have windows) and click edit then paste.
